財務業績：
California Water Service Group's Q1 2024 operating revenue increased significantly to $270.7 million, up from $131.1 million last year.
This was mainly due to the conclusion of the 2021 general rate case, IRMA with $80.7 million, and MWRAM with $31.7 million.
However, operating expenses also surged to $44.3 million due to increased water production costs and other operational expenses.
The net income for Q1 2024 was $69.9 million, a considerable improvement from a loss of $22.2 million in Q1 2023.
The earnings per share also increased to $1.21 in Q1 2024, compared to a loss of $0.48 per share in Q1 2023.
They managed to secure an additional $83 million in COVID funds from the California State to aid customers with past due balances.

加州水務集團2024年第一季度的營業收入從去年的1.311億美元大幅增長至2.707億美元。
